Being in Chicago is awesome for a lot of reasons, and the breadth of local independent media (Chicago Public Media, which is WBEZ + SunTimes, BlockClub, CityCast Chicago, Unravelled, TheTriibe, The Reader, etc) is fantastic.

Beyond Chicago, see also ProPublica, 404, Truthout, Grist, Ground.

Why don’t you report the Illinois State Police when they do bad things? From a BlockClub article I saw earlier today, there have only been two complaints through October 23, one of which was withdrawn.

- D 🏳️‍⚧️
In response to a public records requests, the Illinois State Police said it had received complaints about just two state troopers participating in the Unified Command mission through Oct. 23. In one, a protester claimed he was unlawfully arrested for resisting arrest. That complaint was dismissed after the investigator reviewed video footage of the incident and found no evidence of wrongdoing. The other complaint was withdrawn.

Nun, der CCC shared die Artikel von Netzpolitik :)
Auch beim CCC sind Details missing. Heise höhö, stimmt. Aber da, hast wenigstens die Chance im Forum auf Details zu stossen.

Speaking from experience, Anish Kapoor can turn down any artwork proposed for the park that would reflect on Cloud Gate. Also per the Blockclub article, he can also ::sue:: "anyone who uses his artwork in a way he doesn't like". Something tells me he's not going to like this.

Feds dragged a woman out of a daycare in Roscoe Village today, Addison/Rockwell. After getting her they went inside to ask after immigration status of other workers. Video here, in the story from BlockClub.

Happy patriots at Chicago’s NO KINGS march on Oct 18, 2025. We were leaving the park for the streets after a defiant and unifying speech by Governor Pritzker. The crowd ROARED in response to him. 250,000 strong according to BlockClub Chicago (pls consider donating for their pro-democracy reporting).

2. “The Chicago River does not touch any foreign borders.”

It does not! However, Blockclub Chicago should look into the 100 Border Zone situation. It lets CBP operate with impunity within it. For some reason, the Chicago coastline is considered a part of that.

I have sent the following message to @mollydevore.bsky.social (and I would send it to editor @smontemayor.bsky.social if his DMs were open) of @blockclubchi.bsky.social regarding the lies they're publishing on behalf of tyrants. I sincerely hope they'll correct this ASAP.
Screenshot of a DM to BlockClub writer Molly DeVore: Hi, you're going to find that I've tagged you in a bunch of posts all about the same thing. I'm sure that's quite annoying, and I actually intend it to be so. Because it's even more annoying when our local journalists publish the lies of unchecked tyrants as if they are fact. I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt and hope that you actually *don't want* to be remembered as a propagandist of the American Gestapo, and that this was an abysmal blunder of journalistic integrity - yet one from which you can recover. That ICE agent was never hit by a car. It's very clear to see on video which was already on Reddit by the time of your reporting. Your article contains very serious lies that serve as propaganda for an unaccountable regime, and you owe it to the great people of the Chicagoland region to correct your reporting and issue a statement retracting the lies.

Honestly, I'm disappointed in blockclub. This article only lends credence to the phony pretext. Trump isn't fighting crime. He's fighting cities and stares that don't like him.

🚧 Have you seen the plans to turn a century-old CTA station into a glass-covered “gateway to Downtown”? Construction prep started this week.

Car lanes around the station have been reduced ahead of an eventual "long-term closure" of the stop before it reopens in 2029, according to the city transportation department.

In Chicago, they did this by starting up BlockClub Chicago, a news site covering local news, as a non-profit. They are thriving.

I just read a headline from BlockClub that a LIFEGUARD?? shot Laquan MacDonalds grand-nephew and his friend. I don’t even know where to start on what a strange sequence of words that is….

it’s maddening to read these BlockClub articles where they pretend that it’s a both side issue and a compromise was made when in truth it’s capitulation to the drivers all the damn time

that area is overrun with cars and needs better dedicated transit/bike/pedestrian infrastructure
